Comments

The former Wyuna Uniting Church closed in May 2016, and the property was sold in September 2017. It had been part of the Presbytery of North Eastern Victoria and the Uniting Church Synod of Victoria & Tasmania. The present church building was erected about 1913, and celebrated its centenary in 2013. It is recorded the first Presbyterian service in Wyuna was conducted by the Rev D A Cameron, Director of Home Missions, on 22/10/1911 [Sourced from: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/242841341]. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 19/9/2022.
